Chapter 57: The Giant Baby in Pain
Lin Cen knows the word "giant baby", and it should be said that the whole of China will not be unfamiliar with it - in 2018, this word was also selected as one of the top ten popular words, which shows its influence.
Before the word "giant baby" appeared, there was a word that appeared even earlier, called "gnawing the old".
The generation that grew up after the 80s, at the beginning of stepping into society, the word "gnawing the old" is often accompanied by the evaluation of this generation.
At that time, Lin Cen was still studying, and Feng Nan was already working. Every time Lin Cen made an appointment with Feng Nan for dinner, he always liked to say to himself when Feng Nan checked out: Thank you for your "relief" to the elderly. Feng Nante is easy to be serious, and always comforts her and says: You don't count. You are the extension of the parenting stage brought about by the expansion of education in the process of social development. At that time, Feng Nan was reading psychology books, and he would always say something that sounded very written.
Such as Lin Cen, Feng Nan, Chen Zhiyuan, and the only generation:
When he was born, the stars held the moon;
When he was a child, he came with clothes and stretched out his hand to eat and opened his mouth;
Adolescence is the first thing to learn;
……
It seems to be a kind of inertia, and they still have a lot of "care" from their parents in their youth.
The sky rains, the night ghosts cry - the Chinese characters are really broad and profound. In the early years, the popular "gnawing old" was a verb, and as the action ends, the emotions brought by the word will also be metabolized. For example, Lin Cen, since she became a university teacher and got her first meager salary, she feels that she finally doesn't "gnaw at the old"! My mother can even buy a gift for her birthday and invite her to a meal, which is quite fulfilling. When I bought a house, I gnawed on a large piece of meat from my parents, and I felt entangled in my heart at that time, and I was very angry after being ashamed. But as time passed, that guilt and ambition gradually dissipated together. As for the pocket money given by parents, it is not necessarily easy to say whether it is suitable to be defined as gnawing at the old. All in all, Lin Cen, who mixed fairly well in college, would never admit that he was an old man.
But the word "giant baby" has evolved dramatically! As a noun, it represents a state. A state in which anyone who cannot be separated from his parents will be reduced to "an eternal child in the eyes of his parents" and a "laughing stock in the eyes of others".
Lin Cen's heart was pierced by this word, and his face was hot, and it hurt a little.
They did not continue to quarrel in the rented house, but remained silent and returned home without a word.
When I got home, Lin's father and Lin's mother had also come back - the two of them were surrounding Guo Lan's watermelon before going out, and each person had a fruit fork ready to start.
When Mother Lin saw them coming back, she beckoned, "Come on, come and eat watermelon." ”
The little doll in Guo Lan's arms was already asleep, and she motioned for the two little ones to go over first and go to Lin Cen's bedroom by herself.
But Lin Cen took the first step and snatched the child from her mother-in-law, because she controlled her emotions, her voice was very cold, and she said, "Mom, I'll take her." Go eat it. ”
After saying that, she completely ignored Guo Lan's reaction, turned her head and left. Guo Lan knew that she was uncomfortable, afraid that she would wake up the child, and also afraid of angering her, so her two hands were paralyzed and she was at a loss.
Seeing this, Wang Kun pushed Guo Lan and asked her to eat watermelon first, and followed her in three steps and two steps.
Lin Cen lightly put the child down in the small bed, and when she saw Wang Kun looking at her at the door, she lowered her head and sat on the edge of the bed, patting the child gently.
"I'm here, you're going to get something to eat?" Wang Kun asked.
"No, I can see it myself." Lin Cen replied expressionlessly.
"Shall I leave you some, then?" Wang Kun asked again.
Lin Cen didn't speak, she just quietly looked at her sleeping daughter, like a robot, slapping her fleshy little ass at a certain frequency.
Wang Kunli stood in place and watched for a while, then turned around and left a little dejectedly.
The atmosphere in the living room today was excellent, laughter and laughter, and Wang Kun only heard his mother-in-law's sharp voice ringing as clearly as a bell.
It turned out that today, the hospital held a department health competition, and the department where my mother-in-law was in won the first place.
"It doesn't matter if the bonus is not a bonus," Lin Mu Shao Hongxia was full of pride, and said: "The key is honor!" Isn't that right, in-laws? Hey, you've worked hard lately, if you weren't here, if Xiao Nan asked me to bring it, where would I have the energy to do work! The military merit medal also has half of yours! Come on, I'll give you the sweetest watermelon......"
Guo Lan praised her family's ability, and at the same time opened her mouth and bit off the tip of the watermelon she handed to her mouth.
"Sweet, huh?" Shao Hongxia asked with a smile, and suddenly reacted that this was originally the cut watermelon that Guo Lan bought, and praised after a while: "You will still buy it, and you will clean it up, the knife work is good!" ”
Guo Lan nodded and shook her head again, her teeth were soured by watermelon ice again, her eyes and eyebrows were wrinkled, and she looked very comedy, which made Shao Hongxia laugh and lean back.
At this time, the child's cry came from Lin Cen's house, and Guo Lan hurriedly followed to see the situation. She knew very well in her heart that this child had to sleep on people during the day, and he would wake up within five minutes of being put on the bed.
Facing the little doll struggling and kicking her legs, Lin Cen coaxed her with a small quilt at various angles, but as soon as she covered it, she was kicked off by the child.
"She wants someone to sleep in her arms, I'll hug her." Guo Lan persuaded at the door.
"No, it's just the habit that I'm always hugging." Lin Cen was busy with himself, ignoring his mother-in-law's advice and criticizing it by the way.
The child blushed from crying, and her voice was very loud, Guo Lan said anxiously when she saw this: "This can't be done, the child is crying, she must have her reason for crying, either she is shocked or uncomfortable, you can't force her ...... like this" walked in while saying this, wanting to stretch out his hand.
Lin Cen picked up the child first and shouted, "I said I can bring it myself!" ”
The sound was so loud that the people eating melons in the living room were alarmed.
Lin Mu Shao Hongxia put down the small fork in her hand and muttered what trick she was doing again.
She also ran over, saw Lin Cen standing by the window shaking alone with the baby, and looked at Guo Lan who was a distance away, raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Give the child to your mother-in-law, what are you doing?" ”
"I said I could do it myself!" Lin Cen raised his head, and his tears fell with him.
Lin Mu was startled, her left hand was smooth on her chest, and she shouted, "Oh! I'm in the water! You've done it a few times, where will it be! He glanced at his son-in-law. Wang Kun understood and walked over to pick up the child. Unexpectedly, Lin Cen was still resisting, she turned her back and shook the child even harder. The fat chick's upside-down fetal hat was also crooked, and the monk's clothes were scattered.
Seeing this, Mother Lin was afraid of hurting the child, so she hurriedly ran over and brought the child over, but fortunately, Lin Cen didn't work too hard and it went well. She gently stroked the child's back from top to bottom while holding the child up slightly, dodging the gentle steps under her feet and humming a gentle tune in her mouth. After a while, the child will be calmed down. The child is still twitching by habit, but is about to fall asleep again.
At this time, Lin Mu turned her fox-like eyes around, swept over Lin Cen, swept over Guo Lan, and swept over Wang Kun, knowing in her heart that there must be something wrong with these three people. She swept her eyes to Father Lin again, and Father Lin was mistaken and reprimanded: "Lin Cen! How do you speak? If you are so rude to your elders, where is the tutor! ”
Mother Lin was simply overwhelmed, she hurriedly took the child out of this room, and said: "Don't make any noise, the child sleeps, everyone is for the sake of the child, bear with it!" ”
